King James Version
KJV
[1] Heare me when I call O God of my righteousnesse: thou hast set me at libertie when I was in distresse [1]Hear me when I call, O God of my righteousness: thou hast enlarged me when I was in distress; have mercy upon me, and hear my prayer.
[2]O ye sonnes of men, how long [wyll ye go about to bryng] my glory to confusion? ye loue vanitie, ye seeke after lyes. Selah [2]O ye sons of men, how long will ye turn my glory into shame? how long will ye love vanity, and seek after leasing? Selah.
[3]For ye must know that God hath chosen to him selfe a godly [man]: God wyl heare when I call vnto hym [3]But know that the LORD hath set apart him that is godly for himself: the LORD will hear when I call unto him.
[4]Be ye angry, but sinne not: commune with your owne heart in your chaumber, and be styll. Selah [4]Stand in awe, and sin not: commune with your own heart upon your bed, and be still. Selah.
[5]Offer the sacrifice of righteousnesse: and put your trust in God [5]Offer the sacrifices of righteousness, and put your trust in the LORD.
[6]There be many that say, who wyll shewe vs [any] good? O God lift thou vp the light of thy countenaunce vpon vs [6]There be many that say, Who will shew us any good? LORD, lift thou up the light of thy countenance upon us.
[7]Thou hast put gladnesse in my heart: since the time that their corne and wine increased [7]Thou hast put gladness in my heart, more than in the time that their corn and their wine increased.
[8]I wyll lay me downe in peace and take my rest: for thou God only makest me to dwell in safetie [8]I will both lay me down in peace, and sleep: for thou, LORD, only makest me dwell in safety.
